F-15C Project - The Wiring Problem. (Feat. Vevor SWT508) 

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

Thanks!

I'll give that a shot when I can get back to the machine. Thanks for the tip!

It is! I had an idea around 3am this morning on how might be able to get it to strip 24 & 26ga wires... 🤣 Now if I could just find a wire printer (prints numbers on wires) for less than what a new car costs...

Gerhard, I haven't cut really long lengths on the machine as of yet, but when I used it to make the control cables for my PrintNC CNC machine, all the wires it cut were identical. This was 32(ish) wires that were something around 200mm in length. (I don't recall exactly.) I will tape a note to the machine about checking repeatability though - that way the next time I pull it out for the F-15, I'll know to make a conscious effort to check the repeatability and report on it.

@@f15sim Hi Gene, thank you, for your fast response and detailed information! Next time, if you have some further information, I would be very interested in.

Thanks. I /think/ the blades can be adjusted enough to allow stripping 24 and 28ga wire, but I've not yet had a chance to get that done on my unit. It IS on the list though. :)

@@f15sim I managed to make it cut and strip 24 AWG wire with consistent results. The answers are at the end of the manual, in the troubleshooting section, which is hard to understand because of the poor translation, but basically it says to use the default blade values of 90 and 10 (it depends what's written on the machine, but it's "knife value" and "recede cutter" on this video), and then, tightening the roller more. I did all of these 3 at once and then the wire wasn't stripped enough, which was a huge change from being cut all the way through, so I changed the "knife value" to 80, ran a test and it was perfect, I pressed the sample button a few more times and it was perfect each time, so I just pressed start and it did 1300 wires consistently.

@@KahruSuomiPerkele Nice! I got settings worked out on mine a few weeks ago. One of the new videos I'll be posting soon has info about it.

Sorry, I don't. Keep in mind that it only works in metric units (as far as I know).

You might want to reach out to the manufacturer about that - if it's done that since you got it, it may be defective.

@@f15sim Found the issue, the main PCB inside is barely attached to the machine and fell during transportation, 2 connectors weren't properly inserted, the one controlling the blade and another. The blade mechanism wasn't able to turn, the sensor wouldn't be able to register any rotation and therefore display an error message.

@@KahruSuomiPerkele Did it start working properly once you got things connected properly?

​@@f15sim yes

It does if you follow the instructions. ;)

The link doesn't work if I copy and paste it into the browser, nor does it work if I click it directly. Is there something that I am missing?@@f15sim
